Congratulations on the release of Shortwave AI Assistant. 🚀Your product, like an agent, lives in your inbox and, like the smartest assistant, helps you write replies, schedule meetings, and save energy and time. Good job!
Super exciting! Congrats Andrew and team! I loved how slick your initial summary feature was - minimal, quick to use. Excited to check this out!
VERY excited about scheduling meetings. Tough problem. Curious how far you went!
@jakeharr 30 emails a day doesn't have anything on Shortwave — we'll have you back at inbox zero in no time 😉

@jakeharr 30? Did you forget a 0 perhaps? Would love to have such an easy life!
Although I admit a lot of mine are newsletters or updates from Github and the like, all of which group away nicely in bundles.

That's a fantastic idea, and the tool seems very useful. I believe it's the most common way to harness AI's power these days. Best of luck! Upvoted and I hope it becomes one of the top-3 products today!
I've been using the AI Assistant in beta. There have been some truly magical moments, like translating a thread instantly from french-to-english.
Summarization, writing-drafts, and finding info in my email are the other killer use-cases. I've saved a lot of time on this.
Rock on, Shortwave.
@jamestamplin We agree it feels downright magical at times ✨ Thanks for the support James!!

I particularly like the little AI affordances within the existing UI elements, such as little buttons on each thread to get it summarised, or "include a smart summary" when responding on a thread (that has also already existed for a while now).
It's those little things - much more than the usual chatbot everybody now adds - that make Shortwave's AI adoption different for me.
That and the already great UX for handling the stream of emails, that is just amazing.
@patrick_metzdorf Thanks for saying so Patrick! We did our best to integrate AI as much as possible into the app, rather than having it be a standalone flow. Glad to hear it's feeling good to you 🔥

I used Superhuman for years. I switched to Shortwave about six months ago. Superhuman has bells and whistles. Shortwave organizes emails in a way that allows me to process them quickly and intelligently in a way I never could before.
Once I got my bundles dialed in. I can open Shortwave and, at a glance, see the entire big picture of what's come in and instantly know where to put my attention next.
I also have whole categories of emails that Shortwave knows not to even bother showing me on Monday, just keep them snoozed until Tuesday after 1pm.
Their AI alone has saved me lots of time. I'm not one to have an AI compose anything for me, but having it summarize long incoming emails is a godsend.
I HIGHLY recommend this app.
@ken_blackman This made my day 😌 I'm so glad to hear Shortwave is working well for you—and that you've got bundling, delivery schedules, and AI working to make your life easier. Thanks a ton for being a supporter of Shortwave!
